Sports Leaders

Sports Leaders deliver sports leadership awards and qualifications to over 100,000 people a year. Learners from nine years old can achieve awards and nationally recognised qualifications, offering progression from Level 1 (age 12) to Higher Education, enabling schools, colleges and universities to integrate leadership into their academic programmes and helping students to develop and demonstrate skills that go far beyond leading sport. Sports Leaders help to instil an important link between schools and local communities, by volunteering with link schools, colleges, universities, local authorities, National Governing Bodies for sport (NGBs) and community groups. Sports Leaders helps develop essential life skills including organisation, motivation, communication and working with others. These skills help improve professional and team development and provide training for staff and students involved with school, college and university sports clubs.
